Inertial sensors are now sufficiently small and lightweight to be used for the collection of large datasets of both humans and animals. However, processing of these large datasets requires a certain degree of automation to achieve realistic workloads.Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are widely used stochastic pattern recognition tools and enable classification of non-stationary data. Here we apply HMMs to identify and segment into strides, data collected from a trunk-mounted six degrees of freedom inertial sensor in galloping Thoroughbred racehorses.A data set comprising mixed gait sequences from seven horses was subdivided into training, cross-validation and independent test set. Manual gallop stride segmentations were created and used for training as well as for evaluating cross-validation and test set performance. On the test set, 91% of the strides were accurately detected to lie within +/- 40 ms (
